In this episode, Lisa and Eli meet in person and inquire into this most exquisite and unique relationships between the student and the teacher.  Eli shares the vital importance of a student showing up with a true intention to wake up and receive the essential teaching and then once it has been received, to stay true to what’s been realized.

Podcast 4 in our Heart to Heart series.  In 2018, Sarah Bagley interviewed Eli on what his role is as a spiritual teacher, the power of the enneagram and as always, the invitation in this moment to wake up and be free.

Choice is an illusion, until there comes the grace of wanting to know the truth of who you are. Then there is one choice to make which puts love in charge.  Lisa Schumacher hosts the Heart to Heart Podcast featuring Eli Jaxon-Bear. This episode is a clip from a compilation called "Way of the Bodhisattva," a retreat with Eli at the Maui Dharma Center. 

How to know the difference between egoic movement and true service? Through this exchange with a student, it becomes clear that "finding the balance" is a dialog for the "me" who will never be fulfilled. Eli presents the possibility of giving up the control of the personal agenda so that everyone can wake up and stay true. Then both the individual and the collective suffering can come to an end. 

In this episode of Heart to Heart, Eli speaks to the Enneagram for Awakening retreat in 2019, the last live event before the pandemic. Eli clarifies what Satsang is and the beginning of opening yourself up to experiencing transcendent realization.
